just trying to make it through

you and me, me and you
we’re just trying to make through
this is what we do
we’re just trying to make it through

other folks around i do construe
are with us on this journey too
together we pursue
just trying to make it through

she ran from where the terror grew
and is on a hellish journey too
now she’s at the border
just trying to make it through
holding tight her son and daughter
and they’re trying to make it through

the L and G and the BTQ
with hope and love like me and you
looking now over their shoulders
just trying to make it through
while the hatred’s growing bolder
and they’re trying to make it through

to every class and race and point of view
we’ve heard equality is due
to pursue freedom and happiness
and we’re trying to make it through
hoping for some justice
while we’re trying to make it through

but the president thinks folks like you
want thirty dolls instead of two
he doesn’t have a goddamn clue
that we’re just trying to make it through

you and me, me and you
we’re just trying to make through
this is what we do
we’re just trying to make it through
